During and after the Napoleonic Wars, the Dutch gave Ceylon, Cape Colony, Guiana and some cities in India to the British. But what if they got all these colony’s back. As a result, the Netherlands remains a (middle)great power, which I want to have.
So, I thought that the best POD is that stadholder William V was more capable so there wouldn’t be a Patriot Revolution in the Dutch Republic. As a result, the Dutch Patriots won’t go to France after the failure of the revolution, so there wouldn’t be a Batavian Republic. This means that the Dutch are more in the Allied camp in the French revolutionary wars, which will mean that the Dutch will be a reliable British ally.
Concluding, this will all mean that the British will give back all Dutch colony’s after the Wars.
So, how will this effect on the Congress of Vienna, United Kingdom of the Netherlands, Belgian Revolution, 19th century in Europe and, maybe, but that’s too complicated I think, the 20th century.
Excuse me for my English, sorry. This is my first post.
